Just checking the correct way to do a twin inverter system feeding into Inverter/charger set up. 2 x inverters AC outputs go to separate isolators then each isolator goes to separate MCB's and from there into Henley block to feed into generation meter (for FIT's) then into another Henley block to connect to inverter charger output (from batteries) which feeds building circuits via existing DB with CU. So we are only measuring generated PV from inverters.
So I don't need a garage CU but just a twin MCB enclosure on DIN rail for the inverter supplies.
Can we use these? (image has cartridge fuse holder not MCB).

Hi Fred, you'll need double pole MCB's for each Inverter, and yes they can fit into a little 2 gang isolator box, (proper sized tails to the henley's)_just remember to make sure the cable entries to the 2 gang boxes are well sealed (monkey poo or similar)

So with all that work (2 x double pole MCB's) it might be easier to run a single pair of tails via a meter into a 4 gang (garage / shower) CU with double pole mains switch and 2 single pole MCB's (I've assumed you've designed out the need for an RCD)
